    Snippet: The number of protein products in the viral capsid can reach thousands; for example, the mature HIV-1 contains 1572 capsid proteins. The African swine fever virus (family Asfarviridae) consists of B1900-2200 capsomers. On the other hand, recognition proteins on the viral surface are not necessarily expressed in such large amounts. A partition of structural proteins and enzymes is based on 'virion properties' from the ICTV database (http://www.ncb.....
    Document: The number of protein products in the viral capsid can reach thousands; for example, the mature HIV-1 contains 1572 capsid proteins. The African swine fever virus (family Asfarviridae) consists of B1900-2200 capsomers. On the other hand, recognition proteins on the viral surface are not necessarily expressed in such large amounts. A partition of structural proteins and enzymes is based on 'virion properties' from the ICTV database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ ICTVdb). Currently, on the basis of 3D structure, sparse data on the stoichiometry of virion composition are available. For example, the Adenoviridae virus genome encodes 10 structural proteins and B30 non-structural proteins. The capsid is composed of 720 copies of the major hexon protein (protein II, 988 aa), 64 and 60 copies that build the penton (proteins III and IIIa, respectively), 180 copies of the minor core (protein V), but only 12 copies of the recognition fiber (protein IV, 582 aa).
